What you get

Your shop, open when the door is shut

An independent shop does not need a marketplace or a platform charging monthly apps on top. It needs its own site, with its own products, that the owner can keep up to date between customers.

A catalogue you manage

Products with photos, prices, sizes and options, grouped into categories. Add a new line in a few minutes.

Card checkout through Stripe

Customers pay by card at checkout. The money goes to your Stripe account, less Stripe's standard fee.

Click and collect

Offer free collection from the shop next to delivery. Bulky items can be marked collection only.

Stock that keeps up

Stock comes off as orders are paid, so you don't sell the last one twice.

Orders in one place

Every order with its status, from paid to packed to collected. Refunds from the same screen.

No platform fee on top

You pay the build and the plan. No monthly apps and no percentage of each sale to us.

Prices

What this kind of site costs

Prices are fixed and published on our prices page. The shop add-on includes the catalogue. Here is how a few shop sites add up.

Example	To build	Then
5-page site with a product catalogue, no checkout	£495 + £295 = £790	£100 a year
10-page site with an online shop	£895 + £995 = £1,890	from £30 a month
20-page site with an online shop	£1,295 + £995 = £2,290	from £30 a month

A site that takes payments runs on the Business plan, from £30 a month. Moving an existing site is £300 extra. There is no contract and no exit fee. More on what every site includes is on our websites page.

Why Bath IT

Shops we have built

Bath IT is Gary Blake, at 44 Bristol Road in Radstock. He has done hands-on technical work since 1996, and builds, hosts and secures every site himself. When you ring 07376 947 411, you talk to the person who built your site.

We built a mail-order wool catalogue for Guernsey Wool, an online wellbeing shop for Aurora Hope, and a food marketplace for UmmYeah with accounts, ordering and payments. Each one is run day to day by its owner.

You get the same people for the build, the hosting and any question about an order.

Questions

Questions shop owners ask

How much does an online shop website cost?

With Bath IT, a 10-page site with an online shop is £895 plus the £995 shop add-on, so £1,890. It runs on the Business plan, from £30 a month.

Do you take a percentage of my sales?

No. We charge the build price and the plan. Card payments go through Stripe, which charges its own standard fees per transaction.

Can customers collect from the shop?

Yes. You can offer free collection at checkout alongside delivery, with your own collection instructions. An item can also be marked collection only.

Does the stock update when something sells?

Yes. Stock comes off when an order is paid, and an item that has sold out shows as sold out straight away.

Can I just show my products without selling online?

Yes. The catalogue add-on at £295 lists your products with photos and prices, and runs on Essentials at £100 a year. You can add the shop later.
